The Ordinary Daily Set — Squalane Cleanser, Hyaluronic Acid 2% + B5 & Natural Moisturizing Factors (3-piece Daily Routine)

The Ordinary The Daily Set is a three-product starter routine that cleanses, hydrates, and locks in moisture for everyday skin care.

Designed as an introductory regimen from The Ordinary, this set brings together a gentle Squalane Cleanser, a hydrating Hyaluronic Acid 2% + B5 serum, and the everyday moisturizer Natural Moisturizing Factors + HA. Each product targets a specific step—cleanse, hydrate, protect—so you get a simple, effective flow without needing a complicated product list. The formulas are fragrance-free and geared to support the skin’s surface hydration and barrier, making the set suitable for a wide range of skin types and routines.

How will this set simplify my morning and evening routine?

This trio is built to cover the basic pillars of daily skin care: removing surface dirt and makeup, replenishing water-binding molecules, and sealing in moisture. The order is straightforward—cleanse, apply serum, then moisturize—so it’s easy to follow even on busy days. Together the three steps help maintain a consistent hydration cycle for regular use.

• One cleanser to remove impurities without stripping skin.
• One lightweight serum to attract and hold moisture in the skin.
• One moisturizer to reinforce the skin’s outer layer and reduce water loss.

What makes each product in the set effective for daily use?

The Squalane Cleanser gently dissolves oils and makeup while leaving hydration behind. Hyaluronic Acid 2% + B5 combines multiple molecular weights of hyaluronic acid with vitamin B5 to support skin moisture at different depths. Natural Moisturizing Factors + HA contains compounds naturally found in skin to provide surface-level, long-lasting hydration without heavy occlusion.

• Squalane Cleanser: non-irritating, hydrating surfactant blend.
• Hyaluronic Acid 2% + B5: multi-weight hyaluronic acids for layered hydration.
• Natural Moisturizing Factors + HA: amino acids, fatty acids, and ceramide-supporting components.

Is this set appropriate for sensitive or combination skin?

The Daily Set was formulated to be broadly compatible: the cleanser is mild and non-drying, the serum is lightweight and non-comedogenic, and the moisturizer focuses on surface hydration without heavy fragrance. While many users with sensitive or combination skin find the products tolerable, patch testing one product at a time is a smart approach if you have known sensitivities.

• Fragrance-free formulations to reduce potential irritation.
• Light textures that layer well under sunscreen or makeup.
• Suitable for dry, oily, combination, and many sensitive skin types—test individually as needed.

How should I integrate these into my existing routine or other actives?

Use the set as the foundation of your daily morning and evening care. Cleanse first, apply the Hyaluronic Acid serum onto slightly damp skin, then finish with Natural Moisturizing Factors + HA. If you already use targeted actives (like exfoliants or retinoids), apply actives after cleansing and before the hyaluronic serum as recommended, and introduce new combinations gradually.

• Cleanse: morning and night, or when you wear makeup.
• Serum: on damp skin to help bind moisture.
• Moisturizer: last step to seal and support the skin’s barrier.

Who is this for: The Ordinary The Daily Set is ideal for someone starting a minimal, reliable skincare routine or anyone seeking a straightforward daily regimen to support hydration and surface barrier health. It’s particularly useful for people who want effective, no-frills products that layer easily with other treatments, and for those who prefer fragrance-free, dermatologically minded formulations. If you want a simple three-step approach that cleanses, hydrates, and moisturizes without unnecessary extras, this set provides the basics in wallet-friendly, single-brand packaging.
